Subaru WRX STi vs Audi S3 Saloon
Does the new Subaru WRX STi live up to its predecessors - and can it match
the new Audi S3 Saloon?

The Subaru WRX STi and Audi S3 Saloon may not seem like obvious rivals, but
both have the same power output and distant rally heritage to call upon for
their performance kudos.
At £33,245 with a six-speed manual gearbox, the Audi S3 is more expensive
than the Subaru, but the £28,995 WRX clearly doesn't have the premium
badge and upmarket cabin of its Audi rival.
With 407Nm, the Subaru has a fraction more torque than the 380Nm Audi, but
it's where that torque arrives that really makes the difference. In the
Subaru you've got to wait until 4,000rpm to get peak torque, whereas in the
punchy Audi it arrives at just 1,800rpm. These cars have got very different
characters.
There was a time when we thought the new WRX wasn't going to come to the UK
but fast Subaru fans can relax - it's finally here. In an age when cars are
accused of all looking and feeling the same, there's no doubting that a WRX
doesn't feel or look like anything else on the road.
Performance car fans will forgive the Subaru's cabin because this car is
all about the driving experience and if you've driven a WRX before then
this new car will feel very familiar. First of all the boxer engine sounds
the same, you've got that unique sound from about 4,000rpm as you start to
work it hard.
You've got a gearbox that's got quite a short shift on each change, with a
slightly notchy, quite mechanical feel, and the steering is very fast but
at the same time quite light - which can be a bit disconcerting. It's also
got quite aggressive self-centring, but once you get used to it you realise
that that's a contributing factor to what makes this car feel so agile.
This is a car that you really will enjoy on the average British road.
The first thing you notice is when you get into the Audi S3 is the upmarket
interior is in a different league to the Subaru. It's a real contrast to
the dated cabin of the Subaru.
The driving experience is completely different, too. Where the Subaru is
really vigorous all the time, the Audi is very relaxed: it drives like any
other well-sorted fast Audi.
But the performance is there: it's got the same power as the Subaru's
engine. In the Audi you've got really instant power all the time so you
don't feel like you've got to work the engine so hard.
And the handling's pretty accomplished as well. The steering's not as sharp
and the way that the diffs work is not as aggressive but there's plenty of
traction, decent body control and the car turns in nicely. It's not a
thrilling car on a road like this but it's just very accomplished.
Off the line, both cars have superb traction, but the Audi is nearly 100Kg
lighter than the Subaru, and that shows by the time we reach 60mph. The S3
punches to 60 in 5.4 seconds, whereas the Subaru is 2 tenths behind at 5.6
seconds.
So which car comes out on top in our test? Well, Subaru fans will love the
sound of the WRX's boxer engine and the car's unique character. But the
Audi has a much nicer cabin, it was faster in the drag race and it's a nicer car
to live with day-to-day. Yes, it's more expensive, but if you want a fast,
comfortable and stylish performance saloon, the Audi S3 is the one for us.

Nice acceleration till 210 km/h, then most of the dynamics is spoiled by

Volkswagen GOLF VII, very first presentation!
Volkswagen GOLF VII, GOLF 7, very first presentation! The New VW Golf VII,
Very Exclusive short story, two weeks before World presentation in Berlin.
"Perfection in the details", Wolfsburg, 22.08.12 Wolfsburg.

August 2012. The new Golf is the first car of the compact class in which
-- despite its reduced weight of up to 100 kg -- significant gains have
been made in comfort and safety.
New assistance systems include the multicollision brake -- the Volkswagen
Group is the only carmaker in the world to implement such a system -- a
proactive occupant protection system, standard XDS electronic differential
lock (as found in the previous-generation Golf GTI), ACC adaptive cruise
control plus Front Assist and a City Emergency Braking function, Lane
Assist lane-keeping assistant, fatigue detection, traffic sign detection
and the latest generation of the automatic parking assistant Park Assist
including OPS (360 degree display) as well as the automated light functions
Light Assist and Dynamic Light Assist. There are other new technologies as
well, such as progressive steering (optimised dynamic performance and
better comfort), selection of the driving profile with up to five modes
("Eco", "Sport", "Normal", "Individual" and "Comfort"), an electronic
parking brake, a newly developed ergonomic sport seat (ergoActive seat), a
guard against using the wrong fuel in the diesels, a new climate comfort
windshield that is also a first in this segment and
a new generation of information and entertainment systems.
For the first time, a car has been developed in Wolfsburg that
is based on the pioneering Modular Transverse Matrix and exploits its new
potential to
produce the best possible Golf. The results: although the new Golf has been
made more
spacious, safer and more comfortable, Volkswagen was able to reduce its
weight by up to 100 kg compared to the previous model and, in alliance with
two new engine lines, its fuel consumption and emissions have been reduced
by up to 23 per cent.
A significant improvement in fuel economy is attributable to innovative
lightweight
design. Consider the petrol engines: the new Golf 1.4 TSI with a powerful
103 kW/140 PS and cylinder deactivation has a combined fuel consumption of
just 4.8 l/100 km (112 g/km CO2). Consider the diesel: the world of the TDI
begins at 77 kW/105 PS and delivers a combined fuel consumption of just 3.8
l/100 km for an emissions value of 99 g/km CO2. Technically, the Golf
shines with other new features such as proactive occupant protection,
fatigue detection, the Front Assist safety system with integrated City
Emergency Braking function and a standard multicollision braking function
that can avoid one-fourth of all accidents involving personal injury. And
so, the latest generation of the Golf, a model of which over 29 million
units have been built so far, is also advancing to become a technology
leader in the compact class and one of the most advanced cars in the world.

Suzuki Jimny vs Land Rover Defender - www.autocar.co.uk
Autocar pitches the Land Rover Defender against a tiny and cheap Suzuki
Jimny over a wet, muddy and rutted off-road course. The Suzuki gets left in
the heavyweight Defender's wake, right? The result isn't as clear cut as
you'd think.

Yet another video featuring one of Morocco's cars. This video shows off his
purple Toyota Corolla GTS on Work Meister S1 wheels. When he bought the car
it was in rough shape, but with a some time and money he quickly
transformed it into a show-worthy classic.
